Platform videos not downloading :(

[um5r404]

Your question

Earlier skool videos could be downloaded, but now there is a constant error

"Download failed-
Sadly we failed at downloading that specific media. We try to support as many websites as possible, so it would help a lot if you could report that error (it's anonymous!)"

I usually keep the mentorship videos for my reference as the access gets revoked, Please provide a solution for this I don't want to screen record hours of content. :((

It's probably something that might need a fix, but maybe you can work around it or not.
Click the 3 dots beside download and go down to details. Click that for more information.

Ctrl+A to select all on the page.
Ctrl+C to copy information to the clipboard.

Is there any way to share this without sharing the details of the mentorship?

[Mattmjs]

I'm only interested in the main url or the video url. Does it have your info in the links ?

@Mattmjs Please check this out!

[um5r404]

I have also reported this issue where it says to report. Just in case

[Mattmjs]

Yes I see right away, there have been a few of these examples already. So it fails with a 403 error without the referer.
Only the developer can fix this, but you can work around it like I said.

[Mattmjs]

See #1882 (comment) for yt-dlp method.

[Mattmjs]

Don't worry about adding the cookies and headers , all you need to do is add the referer

[um5r404]

@Mattmjs I will try this, do you mind deleting the comment with the referer link please

[um5r404]

@Mattmjs PlEASE!

[Mattmjs]

I edited the link out, sorry if it was up a few hours but I was offline by the time you asked me. Come back if it works for you
or you don't know what to do.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue: I'm unable to download a video hosted on the Skool platform. I specifically purchased Video DownloadHelper (licensed version) for this purpose, so I really hope an update is planned to fix this problem soon. If no solution is provided, I'll have to look for an alternative. Thanks in advance for your help!

[Mattmjs]

If it's anything like the other examples I've seen, it needs the referer coded to the software otherwise there is a 403 error.
The developer needs to do this , I'm a user like you. I'm not even sure he is aware of this problem or not.
Refer to the link just above to another discussion for an alternative that works.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your feedback and the clarification about the referer issue — that really helps make sense of the situation.

Do you happen to know the best way to notify the developer so they can take this bug into account? Ideally, it would be great if they could fix it and re-deploy the plugin, so that non-technical users like us can use it properly on the Skool platform.

If there’s a link, an email, or any process to report this, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks again for your help!

[Mattmjs]

This is the place, but they haven't been here the past several months. I might try something and see if I can get a response.

A new beta for Firefox has just been pushed out that resolves it by the developer.

[Mattmjs]

Did you get the beta ? It should be fixed.

[forinterieur]

I also tested the beta version, and it's still not working on the Skool platform.
Do you know when we can expect a plugin that allows us to download videos from Skool ?

[Mattmjs]

I'm just a user but I thought it was resolved in the beta. Can you provide more details of the detected video.

[forinterieur]

what kind of details do you need ?

[Mattmjs]

See my response right up the top to get the details.

Hi,

I’ve purchased the Chrome version of Video DownloadHelper, and I noticed that the Firefox version is considered a new product that requires a separate purchase.
So for now, I’ll wait until the update is available for the Chrome version of Video DownloadHelper.
Do you happen to know when the same update will be available for the Chrome version of Video DownloadHelper?

Thanks again for your help.
